All the dumbarse voters will be doing the same. Cheering, Standing in a line, and making their mark proudly

Followed by another five years of bitching, moaning, and complaining
Much better to vote and still complain about other retarded voters, than to not vote like some kind of slimebag.

Something which I found quite interesting, every election we leave it to our staff compliment of roughly 20 odd to modify their election day timetable to allow everyone ample opportunity to go and vote. This election they're saying no modification required as they're not voting. Make of that what you will....
 
I Always feel good after voting - even if it only lasts a short while - I was 16 in 94 so just missed voting the first time but every time I vote now, I appreciate again how far we have come. Growing up in the 80's and early 90's we were constantly afraid of "civil" war and terrorist attacks etc. It really makes you appreciate it when everyone is standing in the same queue, having a chat etc. It could have ended a lot differently.
 
Imagine voting and still bitching like a stuck pig
I am happy with voter apathy, just for ANC voters.

Pollster and analyst Gareth van Onselen, who has worked for the DA in the past, but is now independent, said, “The DA’s goal of approximately 500,000 voters would almost certainly deliver a 51% majority. Had the DA got 500,000 votes on the proportional representation (PR) ballot in 2021, it would have got around 54% (it actually received 235,120 PR votes, for 25.5%). So basic maths says, if the DA can double its vote, and vote share, 51% is likely.

“The most votes the DA has ever received in JHB was 483,000 on the PR ballot, in 2016. So those 500,000 DA voters do exist. The biggest obstacles to the party achieving its goal are apathy and turnout – the two being intricately linked.

Basically in JHB if everyone who voted for the DA in 2016 voted for the DA now, they could get a majority.
